October 11, 200619 yr Okay, we all know Barrows equipment is hard to get, has great stats, and generally shows high status. Also, I know why Guthan helmet costs so much more than plate and legs - it doesn't protect in case of death. But what about spear? Why is it so expensive? Any ideas?
October 11, 200619 yr because it is good. and the full sets special effect owns. Fisher 4 lyfe. 86,674 to 99 cooking36,414 to 99 fishing! (7/31/10)
October 11, 200619 yr Author because it is good. and the full sets special effect owns. Not a complete explanation. In order for the set effect to work, all set parts are required. About how good it is: whip is better. Spear has only controlled or defenseive. How good is that???
October 11, 200619 yr Guthan Spear is the rarest barrows piece, therefore it is most expensive. Also when you die with guthans you lose spear.
October 11, 200619 yr The prices overall are based on set effect. The individual prices are based on their rarity and the demand for them. :-s Yes whip may be better, but using whip with guthan armour doesn't heal you. Only using with spear would. See the point?
October 11, 200619 yr Author The only convincing argument I've hear here is it's rarity. About how the Guthan's spear is needed for set effect: EVERY other set piece is required EQUALLY!
October 11, 200619 yr The only convincing argument I've hear here is it's rarity. About how the Guthan's spear is needed for set effect: EVERY other set piece is required EQUALLY! The only arguement sellers need is the rarity.. if the demand is high for guthans but there's a limited supply, why wouldn't people sell the spear for higher? Ya you need all parts equally but the drop rates aren't equal.
October 11, 200619 yr the full set effect is what you want, but the spear is really hard to find. so say you have the full set except the spear.. and you've been barrowing for months, and cant find it. some one finds one, and you need it. a lot of other people have the same problem. spear goes to the highest offerer. i think that should be clear enough?
October 11, 200619 yr If you were just gonna buy the weapon don't do that, because it's not worth it. If you have full guthans it's much better because the HP you hit of a monster restores back to your HP. It's so expensive because it gives great bonuses and if you wear full guthans with it you get the hp you hit of a monster into your Hp Say like you had 50 Left in combat. And you took 20 Damage of your opponent you would then get 70HP if you hp is over 70+ over that is. - Skenderbeu Hope This Helps
October 11, 200619 yr Contrary to popular belief you lose the spear when you die. Don't ask how I know that... The helm is just a rare item from barrows. (It's also my only barrows drop.) 7 months ago, shoulen m0nk lured me for everything. If you know anything about him, pm me.lol that was a good story but his eyesight must be poor... it's a well known fact that mods only drop garages on players. :lol:
October 11, 200619 yr if you lose spear when you die its obvious thats the greatest demand guthan afteral also is quite some times used to afk...
October 11, 200619 yr weapons are always they most valuable barrow pieces, probably because theyre the rarest Lastfm
October 11, 200619 yr weapons are always they most valuable barrow pieces, probably because theyre the rarest Uh that's not always true. Look at Torags.
October 11, 200619 yr Aside from Dharoks and Guthans, weapons sell for nothing when compared to the armour. (People even have to resort to Hi-Alching the Ahrims staff). Z0mg look im so kool even mods tok to me.
October 12, 200619 yr weapons are always they most valuable barrow pieces, probably because theyre the rarest Uh that's not always true. Look at Torags. And Verac.. and Ahrim.. Cool.
October 12, 200619 yr Weapons are actually the cheaper than every other piece according to the general store on Guthan and Dharok I think. Weapon = Around 60K Helm = Around 80K Legs = Around 110K Body = Around 120K Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992. Supermonk rocks, I want to have his children.Music is like candy. You always get rid of the rapper.
October 12, 200619 yr However, the repair fee is the highest for weapons. Z0mg look im so kool even mods tok to me.
October 12, 200619 yr There are possible explanations: 1) The spear is actually the rarest drop of all the pieces, so there are less spears floating around than sets of armor (maybe) 2) The spear is the one you lose if you die instead of the helm (i think the helm is lost) 3) The runescape population, like the real population, is crazy and will believe anything they're told, like "spears are just more expensive" (extremely likely)
October 12, 200619 yr because in protecting order, its crystal bow/shield > body > legs > fury > whip > helm > spear (added in 3 commonly worn with it items, the crystal bow/shield, fury and whip) thats why the helm and spear are the most expensive, people lose them alot more than the other pieces. Weapons are actually the cheaper than every other piece according to the general store on Guthan and Dharok I think. Weapon = Around 60K Helm = Around 80K Legs = Around 110K Body = Around 120K went and checked:
